Moonlight Gambler

You can gamble for match sticks You can gamble for gold The stakes may be heavy or small But if you haven't gambled for love and lost Then you haven't gambled at all They call me the moonlight gambler I've gambled for love and lost When I gamble for love and it isn't in the cards Oh, what heartaches it can cost me Win or lose, I'm a moonlight gambler And a winner is what I long to be So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live 'Til the day Lady Luck smiles at me You can gamble for match sticks You can gamble for gold The stakes may be heavy or small But if you haven't gambled for love and lost Then you haven't gambled at all No, if you haven't gambled for love in the moonlight Then you haven't gambled at all So I'll gamble for love just as long as I live 'Til the day Lady Luck smiles at me They call me the moonlight gambler They call me the moonlight gambler --- Moonlight Gambler - Ray Conniff, Frankie Laine and Ray Conniff & His Orchestra
